I would suggest that the 'correct' authority for *PUBLIC on the / dir is
*RX. That will allow them to use this directory in a pathname, but will
not allow them to create new subdirectories off of it.

But... that's just my opinion.

You definitely don't want just *R ... that would mean that it can't be
used in a pathname at all (you need *RX to use it in a pathname) so,
basically, it would stop anyone using the *PUBLIC authority from using
the IFS altogether.

I had another problem with an FTP user getting a message that it could not
set the initial directory to "/".

I did a WRKAUT for "/" *PUBLIC had only *R authority.. I changed it to *RWX
to match my other systems. Is *RWX the correct authorization for *PUBLIC?

<<SNIP>> I can't get any HTTP Server instances to start. They all
fail with a message that the message catalog not opened. I confirmed
the file is there. I checked authorities on the directories and they
look unchanged. Google hasn't been much help. <<SNIP>>

Were there any messages logged prior to the msgHTP8020 T/QZSRAPR

Probably of no assist, but... Does the product name replacement
